National Do Not Call List

As of September 30th you may now opt to be added to the National Do Not Call List. This will keep those pesky telemarketers or unsolicited calls which always seem to be either early in the morning, late at night or while your in the middle of something important, now is your chance to be added to their Do Not Call List.You will be able to add your land line, mobile or fax numbers by going online at https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/ or by calling 1-866-580-DNCL (3625). However, there are some exceptions.

Who may still call you?

  1. Canadian Registered Charities
  2. Political parties, riding associations and candidates
  3. Newspapers of general circulation for the purpose of soliciting subscriptions
  4. Organizations with whom you have an existing business relationship
    • Purchased, leased, or rented a product or service in the last eighteen (18) months from the telemarketer;
    • You have a written contract with the telemarketer for a service that is still in effect or expired within the last eighteen (18) months; and/or
    • You asked a telemarketer about a product or service within the last six (6) months.
  5. If you have provided express consent to be called

The website had received so much traffic early yesterday that by 9am it was overloaded and crashed. The site should be fully functional now. Those registered with the list will also be able to file a complaint with an investigator if they are still receiving calls from an unexempt organization. Telemarketers found in violation of the list could face fines of up to $1,500 for individuals and up to $15,000 for corporations.
